The Mentalist: Season Seven Ratings

Published: February 19, 2015

CBS has announced that this is the final season of The Mentalist. The ratings have been coming down for awhile but will they rally for the last 13 episodes? Will the network regret ending the series? Could there be an eighth season after all if the numbers are strong enough?

On The Mentalist, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) continues to help solve tough cases, using his razor sharp skills of observation. How will the relationship of Jane and Agent Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) affect their work? This time around the supporting castmembers are Tim Kang, Rockmond Dunbar, Joe Adler, and Josie Loren.

The higher a show’s ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better its chances for survival. New ratings data will be added as it becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Final season averages: 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.28 million total viewers.

The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

I really liked the Mentalist show. It actually had some sophistication to the plots which showed some great writing and casting.Most of the new shows out now would not interest a monkey.My plan now is less tv as it insults our intelligence!

You Have to wonder if they are reading or listening to us.. My TV is off more then it’s on any more I can’t handle even food commercials any more everything on is either of a sexual or violent setting.. The thing lately I hate most is the commercials for undergarments Who the heck needs to see people in there undies? Sick Sick you people that would take away good programs for the stuff I change channels or turn off my set for Grow up writers and producers get some good stuff back on TV

I am so SICK of the damn networks caring only about the “18-49 demographics,” who, by the numbers, show they start caring when you are old enough to buy on your own as an adult at 18-whatever idiotic things the sponsors are selling–and decide they could care less about anyone over 49 because by then people have their minds made as to how they shop—but they think at 48 there’s some glimmer of hope to still catch their eye to buy whatever they are selling but by 50 there’s no hope in sight to make any money off of anyone… Read more »

Suzi, you said a mouthful! When the networks realize that those of us who are OVER their core demographic are the ones spending money on what their advertisers are marketing, it will be too late! These young people are so into their phones, tablets, ipads and video games, they couldn’t care less about what’s on TV unless its blood and gore or sex and immorality or “reality” shows! Give me a good scripted show like “The Mentalist” any day in the week and I will watch. I remember when they dropped Rizzoli and Isles and I now watch that on… Read more »

I’m so disappointed that the Mentalist is over. One of my all time favorite shows with wonderful cast. Would be so nice to have some special episodes. So many more stories to tell. Perhaps a new series with with Chou in charge and the others making appearances.
